Summary: Scout in paragraph 9 is starting to have a fight with a kid called Cecil Jacobs because he made fun of Atticus and says that "Scout Finch's daddy defends niggers." Cecil makes fun of Scout because Atticus was called to defend for Tom Robinson. A black man who was accused of raping a white person. However, even though there were people outside telling him he is not being right, Scout tells Atticus to hole his self respect and justice. During Christmas time, Jack (Atticus's brother) comes over to stay with Atticus. Scout starts to swear in front of Jack (she started to swear after she picked it up recently). On Christmas day, Atticus takes the kids and Jack to Finch's landing where Alexandra (Atticus's sister) stays. There, Scout meets Francis, Alexandra's grandson. Scout thinks that Francis is the most boring person in the world. During her stay in Finch's Landing, Francis tells Scout that Dill tells Atticus a 'nigger lover' which drives Scout so angry. She beats Dill up which Francis tells Jack and Alexandra but not Atticus because Scout knows if he does find out, she would be in alot of trouble.
